New Access to ETMs
If you have the Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer, it’s rec-
ommended that you remove it before downloading the browser. Then when the
browser’s loaded, reload the Acrobat Reader using the web site’s link to Adobe.
That way the reader is set up as a plug-in to the browser and allows you to view
the electronic file quicker.
Remember, you’ll still need a user ID and password to access any publication
with restricted distribution. Get the online access form by clicking on System
Access Request (SAR) at the website.
I
n the past, the only browser you could use to access electronic technical man-
uals (ETMs) on the LOGSA website was Netscape Communicator 4.75 with
128-bit encryption.
Now, Internet Explorer 5.5 with 128-bit encryption has passed all security
requirements and also can be used.
Whichever browser you choose, you’ll find links to get a free download under
the software requirements on the ETM welcome page at
